Product description
A graphic statement at ground level, the Faraway/ Pool sunken mini-pool is level with the floor.
Bringing together the best of the Faraway collection, Kos presents the concept spa: the bathroom is no longer a ritual place, but a space dedicated to a multi-sensory wellbeing.
Function and aesthetics integrally blended: typically functional items are transformed into geometric details of great beauty. The steps to lower oneself into the pool become sources of illumination; the ground-level fissure for the collection of water doubles the pool's outline; the blower placed under the steps ripples the surface of the water over the entire length of the pool.
An object of great emotional impact, for infinitely pleasurable moments.
Once again Kos explores the boundaries of wellbeing, to be experienced indoor and outdoor.

There are any number of trends, but only one can lead the way: The bathroom is expanding and merging with the bedroom to form one large area of relaxation and recovery. This, however, is no easy design task to be accomplished.

Palomba's minimalist shower rooms for Kos
Can you find it pleasant being in the element of water if you are not a fish? How can we enjoy the sensory qualities of cold and hot water as it forms pearls over our skin and bodies? And does the glistening of the light, which breaks in drops or torrents, not refresh our minds and senses?
In order to combine all this into one experience, Ludovica and Roberto Palomba have designed a special piece of architecture, namely a bright and clear room for an enjoyable water experience.
